Condolences left for Mary P. Mefford:
My happiest memories of Ms. Mary was her lovingness to me and all the children she crossed every day as we went to school. My mom and her talked quite often. She was an angel here on earth and is an angel in heaven. God bless her and her family. My thoughts and prayers are up for her and the family. RIP Ms. Mary. You made such a difference in so many lives. Thank you!

We were saddened to hear that Mary had passed away. We only met her for a short time when we came to visit Harold and Kathie. We were so glad to have met her and only wish we could have spent more time with her, she was very special and we will miss her when we visit next time. God speed Mary, you touched the hearts of many and will be remembered in so many ways. Thank you for the kindness you have shown to Kathie and to us as well. Love always Ann and Bob Dearden
